DATA
CEPII's geographical data in excel or in Stata 8 format.
CEPII's bilateral distances and other variables useful for gravity in excel or in Stata 8 format.
Explanatory notes for those datasets jointly developed with Guillaume Gaulier and Soledad Zignago.
This dataset (available as a zipped Stata 8 file)
provides data used in Mayer and Zignago (2005), which involves trade
and production figures in a compatible industry classification for
developed and developing countries. Those come from the Trade and
Production 1976-1999 database made available by the World Bank, which
compiles this data for 67 developing and developed countries at the
ISIC rev2 3-digit industry level over the period 1976-1999. The
original data comes principally from United Nations sources, the
COMTRADE database for trade and UNIDO industrial statistics for
production. The World Bank files have a lot of missing values for
production figures in recent years. We largely extended the database on
this aspect using more recent versions of the UNIDO CD-ROM together
with OECD STAN data for OECD members. We also completed the trade data,
using the CEPII database of international trade (BACI). The resulting
database has 26 ISIC 3-digit industries over the 1976-2001 period for a
large number of countries. For more details see Mayer and Zignago (2005).
